Vista with a touch of Ubuntu

January 7, 2009
By david

The image below captures my amazement.  A few days ago, I installed Virtualbox on my Vista machine and installed Ubuntu.  After a bit of tweaking I now have Vista and Ubuntu seamlessly working together on the same desktop!  Check it out!

The installation of Virtualbox was easy and it seamlessly connected to the local network and the internet.  On the screen above you can see the auto-update of Ubuntu working side-by-side with MS Word under Vista!

I can see a day coming where every PC will be run by a hypervisor with one or more guest OS’s!
